This may be a stupid thing to ask advice about on a Hayabusa forum, but here goes.
I've lately been considering selling my Busa. Not only that, but my replacement bike would be the new 2008 Ninja 250.
I know, I know. Let me explain.
My wife has a 2005 Ninja 250. I have a 2006 Ninja 650. And I have my 2005 Busa. I've had it for about 6 months. I have to say that riding her 250 is a lot more fun than riding the Busa. I was thinking of selling the Busa and her 250 and getting a new 250. I would keep my Ninja 650 for two up riding.
Here are the pros and cons.
Busa pros:
-It looks awesome.
-It has an awesome image.
-The power is a rush.
Busa cons:
-It is frustrating to ride, because I have to hold back on the power if I want to keep my license.
-How much power does a person need unless racing?
-I have a lot of money tied up in it.
Ninja 250 pros:
-It's a blast to ride.
It's more fun to ride a small bike fast than a fast bike slow.
-It is so light weight that I can take corners much faster on it than the Busa
-It gets about 80 mpg.
-It's only $3499 brand new.
-The new 2008 Ninja 250 has awesome styling.
-It's plenty fast enough (even for interstate).
Ninja 250 cons:
-It has the image of being a beginner's bike.
-It is not so good for two up riding (but I would still have the 650 for that.)
So there it is. What do you guys think? Any opinions are welcome.
